Fourteen-year-old Javion Ivy was shot twice in the chest and killed on January 12, 2022, on the Near West Side of Chicago in the 2200 block of West Adams Street. Witnesses heard gunfire and later saw Javion lying in the street near his backpack; he was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead that afternoon.

Investigators say two gunmen were involved; one was seen rummaging through Javion’s backpack before both fled. Chicago police released photos and videos of a person of interest and asked the public for help, but as of the latest reported updates no arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. Javion’s family and friends remember him as joyful and passionate about basketball, and community groups held a vigil and called for action to reduce gun violence.

Did anyone in the area that afternoon see something that might help identify the people who fled the scene?
